Coffee Should Not Look Like Tea

I just love having a bit of coffee with my cream. Since Strong Coffee isn't for me..I tried to compromise and I guess I just didn't hit the balance. What do you think I should do? I Would love to hear your coffee stories and how I can help better serve my co-host with better coffee. What do ya think?

My co-host of the Word-fm morningshow (wordfm.org) is seriously coffee making challenged. His coffee is one step above tea where I want my coffee to make my hair stand on end, grab a hold of my tastebuds and scream "WAKE UP!!" It's a race to see who hits the coffee pot first each morning. What should I do to make him understand that my way is right?
